The Spring Championship of Online Poker (SCOOP) Main Events kicked off last night on PokerStars, unfolding the low, medium, and high tournaments that the poker community eagerly anticipates each year. As the virtual chips began to fly, several PokerStars Ambassadors made their mark, particularly Spain's Ramon Colillas, who clinched the overall chip lead in the medium Main Event.

The stakes are high, with over $10 million guaranteed across the three marquee events. As the deadline for late registration draws near, the tournaments have already surpassed their guarantees, promising hefty payouts for the skillful (or fortunate) few who navigate their way to the top. Here's a snapshot of the action with the clock ticking down on late registration:

  • The SCOOP-L Main Event has drawn over 21,500 players, with a prize pool that broke records with time to spare.
  • "manhhungctn" leads the charge in the SCOOP-L, amassing a staggering chip lead.
  • Lex "L. Veldhuis" Veldhuis, a familiar face among PokerStars Ambassadors, is making waves in all three Main Events.

In the SCOOP-M $1,050 Main Event, Ramon Colillas stands out from the crowd, bagging over 1.1 million in chips — a commanding lead among the 1,254 hopefuls still in contention. With late registration still an option, the field is ripe for the taking, featuring notable names like Christian "WATnlos" Rudolph and Tom "hitthehole" Middleton.

Despite some PokerStars Ambassadors falling short of Day 2, many, including Nicholas Walsh and Sam Grafton, remain in the hunt, showcasing the depth of talent within the PokerStars team.
